The Guardian's investigations editor orchestrated turning the mass of secret US embassy papers into great copy<p>A little adulation with your turkey, sir? But let's not spend too long wondering whether Julian Assange is anyone's idea of a perfect Christmas house guest, for there are other nominated heroes in the great WikiLeaking saga.</p><p>It's a shame that "more medals aren't being pinned on the chest" of those who actually obtained the data, David Leigh of the <em>Guardian</em> told a <em>Times</em> reporter. And it's a shame, too, that Leigh himself isn't getting his fair share of praise either.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/19/david-leigh-wikileaks">Continue reading...</a>Newspapers & magazinesWikiLeaksJulian AssangeTony GallagherMediaSun, 19 Dec 2010 00:06:36 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/19/david-leigh-wikileaksPhotograph: Graham Turner/GuardianDavid Leigh turned raw data from WikiLeaks into brilliant storytelling.

Not exactly: it is a magistrates court, lowest in the pecking order of courts, so decisions do not bind other courts. However, his decision may be persuasive of other courts, especially other magistrates. The sky did not fall in as a result of yesterday's tweeting, so why not allow it again? For the decision to gain wider acceptance we really need a crown court judge or high court judge to follow suit.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/law/2010/dec/15/tweeting-court-reporters-julian-assange">Continue reading...</a>LawMediaTwitterJulian AssangeTechnologyWikiLeaksMedia lawWed, 15 Dec 2010 15:03:48 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/law/2010/dec/15/tweeting-court-reporters-julian-assangePhotograph: Andy Rain/EPAThe media outside the Julian Assange hearing during which reporters were allowed to tweet.
